SpaceX’s NSFW Rocket

Tim Urban at Wait But Why did what he does best, a long blog post about SpaceX’s plan to go to Mars.

A couple months ago, when SpaceX first announced that this would be happening in late September, it hit me that I might still have special privileges with them, kind of grandfathered in from my time working with Elon and his companies in 2015 (which resulted in an in-depth four-part blog series). So I reached out and asked if I could learn about the big fucking rocket ahead of time and write a post about it.

They said yes. Baboom.

He calls the rocket the Big Fucking Rocket, which is amusing, but I like even more that Musk might call the first one the Heart of Gold (Google it and skip the Neil Young references).

Anyway, read the post.
